FORT VANCOUVER LION’S UPROAR P A G E 3 Share House
This month Lions Michele Druschel, John Lyons and I volunteered two and a half hours at Share House. We helped sort a large amount of food supplies, poured orange juice and cocoa, cleaned apples, bagged cookies and readied cooked chicken to be re- heated for dinner. Because there is very limited park- ing available now that the house is surrounded again by tents, we met at Marshall Center and John graciously transported us to Share House. Thank you John!

Who’s Who in Fort Jennifer Denny Vancouver Lions Club
March is the month of my Grandmother, Ruth Kelly Miller’s birthday. It seems fitting to share with our Li- ons club my inspiration in serving our community together. As long as I can remember, I have been filled with incredible inspiration to volunteer to help those in need or suffering. My Grandma Ruth demonstrated this at- tribute in our family with great passion. She began her volunteer career in World War II as a nurse’s aide. She told me stories about helping new mothers with premature babies and how so many women stepped up to volunteer in the hospitals. Shortly after, she married my grandfather Leroy Kelly who courageously served our United States Army as a Paratrooper liberating Europe bravely fighting the evils of a horrific war. Protect- ing freedom and service runs deep in our family. My parents were both born in the amazing Washington state and they fell in love as young teenagers at Longacres, a racehorse track near Seattle Washington. My grandparents owned racehorses and my dad, Rich- ard Christian was a fierce competitive horse jockey. My mother, Leslie Kelly, became a new mom with courage. She was alone when I was born on a swelter- ing hot afternoon in an Army base hospital. It was the famous Kentucky Derby day! My dad had just been drafted into the Army. Painfully my dad surrendered his career as one of the top racehorse jockeys on the West coast and my mom followed. My dad grew up in extreme poverty, so he reluctantly and proudly served our country during the Vi- etnam war era. He ended up serving in South Korea. My mom flew home, and I grew up in the beautiful state of Washington. During my life, my mom’s endless compassion for others has been a bright rainbow! She instilled the most im- portant value in our family, the Golden Rule. I remember as a little girl, she would say “Treat people as you want to be treated” and you will have friends and be happy! Another inspiring woman in my life is Dr. Maya Angelou. She is famous for teach- ing, “Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.” My grandmother also volun- teered in hospitals her entire life. She was and always will be a rainbow in my life! I loved her beautiful smile, the joy and satisfaction she had from helping oth- ers was bright. Also, I learned the fact that she was never idle or bored in her re- tirement years. I have been blessed to have so many rainbows in my life. I became a young mother and was filled with love and support from family in all endeavors raising my lovely family. I now have three adult children and two adult stepsons. Even more love has filled my life with four grandchildren! And the biggest rainbow of joy and love is my loving husband, Edmund Denny, who is the biggest supporter in my service for our community. During my second journey in life, I decided to go back to college and worked hard to achieve a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and Business Administration from Warner Pacific University, Portland Oregon. My initial goal, to own an accounting business, has changed. After taking time off to spend time loving and finding frogs with my grandchildren, and volunteering in our community, I have decided to start a non-profit serving trau- ma survivors in Clark County. Working with homeless women and foster children has always been a passion of mine. Almost twenty years ago I was privileged to help open the first women’s shelter in Portland Oregon with the Portland Rescue Mission. God has blessed me immensely with time and resources to continue to serve as a Fort Vancouver Lion in this second journey of my life. As life brings struggles as life does, reaching out a helping hand along the way has given me the strength and joy to get through adversity. “I have found that among other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”

Fort Vancouver Lions Club and Foundation Board Meeting Friday January 15, 2021 10:15 A.M. Via Zoom in the time of COVID-19 Queen Lion Gay called the meeting to order at 10:15 AM. Board Members Present: Queen Lion Gay Enyeart, Martha Johnson, Doug Wilson, Craig Limoges, Bill Shal- aby, Allen Rhyasen, Rick Giles, Eva Halter, Helen Sutfin, and Shelly Brown. A quorum was present.
Standard Reports to the Board: Secretary’s Report: Lion Rick made a motion, seconded by Lion Allen to approve the minutes from the De- cember 18, 2020 Board Meeting. Treasurers Report: Lion Rick reported that there was nothing special in the budget. There was a brief dis- cussion about spending for the Santa Store. A need for communication between committee members is im- perative! The Treasurer’s Report will stand pending observation.
OLD BUSINESS 20.13.14 Global Showcase for Spring Conference Lion Helen reports this an event to showcase one or more of the 5 Global Causes. Our club needs to decide which of the Five Global Causes we can showcase and decide on a presentation to best show how our club has worked on this cause. 20.13.15 Covid-19 Safety Officer Michelle Druschel has agreed to take on this position as long as she is not otherwise occupied by family obligations. 20.21.16 Shed Inventory Lion Allen shared more information about the shed inventory after he had sent the list in an email. It was moved by Lion Rick seconded by Lion Doug and approved, to get rid of the old, heavy tables and the expired mints from the shed. 20.21.17 LCI Proposed Dues Increase Lion Rick sent out a spread sheet with the information about all of the dues classification options that LCI has. Our club does not utilize all of these areas, so Lion Rick was proposing that the Board needs to make decisions about these changes. It was decided that he will resend this spread sheet for the Board to further review and discuss at the next board meeting. Also, the board needs to make decisions about upcoming LCI dues increases.
NEW BUSINESS Fundraising: MOD Pizza: Lion Allen shared that the MOD Pizza Fundraiser made $700, above the $112 from the actual event. These extra funds were donated by friends and coworkers of Lori as well as other Lions! The next Piz- za Fundraiser is Monday, March 6 from 10:30 am – 10:00 pm at the MOD Pizza at 305 SE Chkalov Dr #120, Vancouver, WA 98683. Flag Project: Lion Allen shared the goal is to get 30 participants in this. He wants to have as many people as possible to share this information with their neighbors. Fruit Sales: Lion Allen contacted the owner of the fruit company. This is still in process. He is working to make sure this fundraiser can happen. Service Projects: Environmental Project: Lion Doug proposed an environmental project that is a team (club) project to compete with other teams (clubs). It will run from February 22-March 15. It includes three different environ- mental areas. Doug will send out the link for members to join the club’s sign-up. It was moved by Lion Craig, seconded by Lion Bill and approved that this proposal be accepted. Washington Elementary School: Lion Martha shared the information about the status of the students and their return to in person learning. Volunteers are still not allowed on campus. There were many positive comments from the school about the Santa store, including coats and quilts! Food Bank Project: Lion Martha proposed a Food Bank Food Drive to collect food/household items and de- liver to the Food Bank. It was moved by Lion Craig, seconded by Lion Doug and approved that we accept this proposal for recurring Food Drive events. The first event will happen on March 13 from 9:00 – 1:00 PM.
Meeting adjourned at 11:33 AM. Next Board meeting will be Friday, February 19 at 10:00 AM.
Respectfully submitted, Shelly Brown

Lions Sight Foundation of Clark County Zoom Minutes February 2, 2021 Attending: Jeff Fish, Bill Lundin, Ralph Harding, David Page, Stephanie O’Dell, Casey O’Dell, Harry Barrett, and Susan Nellor
Meeting called to order at 6:35 by Bill Lundin
Approval of January minutes: Bill asked for a motion to approve the minutes as presented. Susan made that motion. It was seconded by David Page. The minutes were approved.
Treasurers Report: The January ending checking account balance was $10,597. Donations arriving in January were $500.00 from Community Foundation/David Page, Fort Vancouver Lions Club $50.00, and Vancouver Dawn $100.00. The beginning balance for February was $11,447.
Bill asked for a motion to accept the Treasurers report as presented. David Page made the motion, Susan se- conded the motion. This motion was passed. Ralph made the following disbursements: new checks $68.00, postage stamps $200.00, and 15 patient vouchers were issued for $625. Checking account balance reduced to $9,644. If all outstanding vouchers were to be redeemed they would total $2,640.
Endowment Information: $65, 636, $166.00 of interest. There is a total between checking account and endow- ment of cash on hand of $72,640.
Patient Care Coordinator report: Ralph Harding processed 24 applications; 23 were approved and mailed out. 1 was denied due to sufficient funds. There were two unusual requests that are pending more information: the first was a request for electronic eyeglasses which would cost approximately $4,375 to $5,000. Ralph is contacting the Low Vision Clinic for more information. The second request was for an ocular prosthesis. Ralph indicated that the last time the Sight Committee funded such a prosthesis was in July of 2014. To fund that request, we partnered with Northwest Sight. Our share of the matching grant was $2,800. Ralph is researching this request also. A partnership would have to be explored to fund this request. These two items were tabled until the March 2, 2021 meeting.
Old Business: The Camas Lions Club has requested more information about the Marshall Tucker Band guitar. Perhaps, a buyer has been found. The job description for the Patient Care Coordinator position is still pending.
New Business: The Pacific University glasses will arrive shortly ( they actually arrived on February 5, 2021). On Saturday the 6th, a distribution was held between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. As of February 19 , only 1 pair has not been picked up. The recipients were all very happy and grateful. It was a rewarding experience, well worth the one hour we waited outside for the eyeglass handoffs. It made us feel good to be Lions. The next screening event will be held on April 7th, with the next distribution event in approximately 6 weeks from then. Volunteers are always welcome to be trained. David is communicating with Pacific University to increase the frequency of these screening clinics in Clark County He will report back.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After months of discussion about citizenship and holding a permanent resident card (Green Card) being a crite- ria to receive services from the Lions Sight Foundation of Clark County, a decision was made at the February 2, 2021 meeting. Ralph Harding made a motion to remove these two criteria points from the Standing Policies, Procedures and Rules. David Page seconded that motion. A vote was taken, all those voting were in favor, no one opposed this change in the Standing Policies, Procedures and Rules. This change is consistent and congru- ent with the Lions International mission of …”we help those in the most need.”
The requirement that an applicant be a Clark County resident is still in effect. (note: this change is already reflected on the on line application)
The March meeting is scheduled via Zoom for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. A link will be sent out via email a few days before the meeting.
The meeting was adjourned by Jeff Fish at 8:00.
Respectfully submitted, Susan Nellor, secretary

G-2 ZONE MEETING MINUTES ZOOM February 16, 2021
PZC Ryan Morrison called the meeting to order at 6:30pm.
Clubs represented: Cascadia, Fort Vancouver, Hazel Dell, La Center, North Clark, Salmon Creek, Vancouver Dawn, and Camas District officers present: DG Doug Harvey, 1st VDG Marilyn Patterson, 2nd VDG Debbie Mansell, G-6 ZC Leslie Chasse, GLT PDG Mark Mansell, LCIF Chair PCC Hal Palmer, GMT Stephanie O’Dell Discussion: What challenges have you faced in this time of COVID?
What to do for service and fund raising when we were unable to do large projects in- volving many members and interaction with schools or other community groups was a ma- jor challenge. Holding member interest and generating member enthusiasm particularly among new or less involved members was also a concern. Fund raisers were a problem. Not all members attend Zoom meetings so it is difficult to keep everyone informed. At the district level, it was a challenge to communicate with clubs that were not meeting. Challenges brought opportunities – a new way to look at fund raisers and new fund rais- ers (bulb sales, shredding event, outreach to different potential sponsors), creative use of technology to bring people together and to develop new sources of funds. Successes included an adopt-a-family Christmas project, a re-designed Santa Christmas store, a busy shredding event, new sponsors for and new ways of providing Christmas bas- kets for families, and innovative ways to serve in a COVID safe manner. • LCIF Chair, PCC Hal Palmer reported that donations to LCIF are up $5,000 over this time last year. • 1st VDG Marilyn Patterson reported that her club’s biggest challenge has been to get the members back together. • 2nd VDG Debbie Mansell reported that more clubs are getting their service hours record- ed. • GLT PDG Chair Mark Mansell reported that many people took the Guiding Lion training. He appreciates everyone learning to use the technology. • G-6 ZC Leslie Chasse reported that it is a challenge to keep the clubs of G-6 informed as some are not on Zoom. Club reports: • Vancouver Dawn is organizing for the Crystal Plum Bazaar scheduled for the first Satur- day in November at Alki Middle School. They are waiting to resume downtown beautifica- tion activities with the City of Vancouver. • Salmon Creek made major financial donations to the Clark County Lions Sight Committee and to the Clark County Food Bank. They are working on a strategic planning session. They are getting ready for their annual plant sales in May. • North Clark completed a tree lighting ceremony, prepared Christmas food baskets for 75 families, are gathering firewood to give to families needing wood for heat, and updating their Lion signs. • La Center cleaned invasive blackberry vines from around the post office. They are sending cards and gifts to a six year old with cancer. They are hoping to do their traditional Easter Egg hunt and pancake breakfast. Hazel Dell is continuing its donations of hygiene and cleaning supplies and food gift cards to the community outreach center at Hazel Dell School. They continue to participate in the Clark Neighbors Green Bag Food Project. (Continued on page 9)
FORT VANCOUVER LION’S UPROAR P A G E 9
• Fort Vancouver re-imagined its Santa Store for the students at Washington Elementary and prepared a gift box for each family. They are participating in the Waste Busters Chal- lenge. They have a shredding event scheduled for May 22. They are hoping to be able to work on the track meet at Washington State School for the Blind in 2022. • Cascadia has been doing glasses collections. They provide snacks for the students who are on campus. They are looking forward to a Bunco Night and a Bike Rodeo. They have special cards planned for all 700+ graduating seniors. • Camas has been doing small projects at the Treasure House (food bank). They are plan- ning a shredding event and a spring online bulb sale. They are also doing the Waste Bust- ers Challenge. They worked with Cascadia to present 8 boxes of new jeans to the People in Need outreach at the Camas Resource Center. • Longview Pioneer adopted a family for Christmas and filled all of its needs through per- sonal donations, not club funds. CARE Chair PDG Steve Patterson mailed a letter to each member explaining the need for CARE and asking for support. Members donated $3,000.00+ for CARE. • Willapa Harbor Lions applied for and received a community grant from LCIF to help the Willapa Harbor Hospital purchase imaging equipment. What will Z-2 do next year? It has been an interesting year with no Zone Chair. It is im- portant to have a Zone Chair to be the liaison between the clubs, MD19, and LCI. Who will step up? • GMT Chair Stephanie O’Dell reported that the Club Rejuvenation Project is well under way at Fort Vancouver and Salmon Creek. La Center has planned an information session and Camas is considering one. The Membership for Maui contest is underway. Bring in a new member and your name will be entered in the drawing. One name will be drawn at Spring Conference and that person will win a week at the Harvey’s condo in Maui. • GLT PDG Mark Mansell reported that the Guiding Lion training was well attended. There are Guiding Lions ready to assist clubs dealing with COVID and other challenges. New of- ficer training will be a four hour virtual session May 22 with a second session in late July, and possibly a catch-all in September. • DG Doug Harvey stated that in spite of all his optimism and efforts 19G’s Spring Confer- ence will be a one day virtual event with an in person event planned for later. The second cabinet meeting will be February 27. • 1st VDG Marilyn Patterson said that next year will be a continuation of this year’s pro- grams; continuity is important. She is looking for a Service Chair as current SC Brian Wolfe is stepping down. She also needs a secretary and a G-2 Zone Chair. ZC Leslie Chasse has stated he will run for 2nd VDG for the 2021-2022 Lion year. • 2nd VDG Debbie Mansell has completed the training for her position. • LCIF Chair PCC Hal Palmer reported that there will be a Tell-a-thon April 11 to benefit LCIF. For more information contact him at: [email protected].
The next Clark County Lions Council meeting will be by Zoom on March 16th. Lion Jack Johnson volunteered to chair the meeting if Lion Casey will set it up. Lion Jack Johnson then said he would be willing to be Zone Chair if someone will help him as he still has commitments to the Salmon Creek vision screening project and has several other things in the works. Several people offered to help. Thank you, Lion Jack. Meeting adjourned 8:00pm.
